Main
Er, hi. Was there some strong reason you felt Main should be a redirect to the main page? Wikinews in modern times has usually tried to avoid redirects from mainspace that wouldn't be used in the body of a news article.


 * (I'd actually started to change my mind about deleting it, at least on that criterion, but then my keyboard twitched, so I figured I'd ask you first. I'm not sure whether there's a speedy deletion criterion that actually fits, not sure... well, not sure about a lot, but thought I'd ask you whether you care much before worrying about it further.) --Pi zero (talk) 12:47, 20 November 2012 (UTC)


 * It's not that important to me, but the redirect would be consistent with that found in most other major Wikimedia Projects. You may do whatever seems most appropriate. Mikael Häggström (talk) 12:52, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

Why those Creative Commons license differences?
Mikael, I saw that you recently posted Water_cooler/proposals, so you seem to be the right guy to ask for an explanation why Wikinews uses a different CC license (2.5) than Wikipedia (3.0) and what, if anything, can be done about this. This prevents any direct content port from Wikipedia to Wikinews, and that's a major handicap, because there's a huge flow of up-to-date content at WP, but only a sad trickle here. If stuff could be ported here, it would only take some copyediting to significantly improve news production here. So, what can be done and who has the competence to decide on such a big change? I hope you can provide some insights. Thx! Gray62 (talk) 13:36, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm glad for your support. However, my proposal met heavy opposition at the meta page, so it doesn't seem to become a reality within any foreseeable future. Mikael Häggström (talk) 13:40, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
